John is easily my favorite writer on guns or hunting. I'm an engineer, and back when I was in college I was drawn in by his articles on rifles and handloading. I liked that his scientific/technical approach was always tempered with a sense of practicality based on his extensive experience. I learned a lot reading his writing in those days that really gave me a head start when I jumped in the rifle/handloading game myself.

While I was always drawn to the more technical, comparison type articles, Rifles & Woodsmoke was always a favorite read for me. I've not subscribed to his Rifle Loony News, but I will be investigating that soon.

Don't speculate when you don't know, and don't second guess when you do.
